I posted the following on the AMD thread:

I believe the above comparison was run at a resolution of 1900x1080. What I can't understand is how the Phenom II runing a dual channel system could possibly beat the i7. gosh has argued that AMD in general has a leg in bandwidth but his comments caused a thread to be locked down. I don't know what to think ... If the comparison result is true what could possibly account for this?
It seems obvious to me, 1920x1080 and 8X AA with Crysis is the very definition of GPU limited. Combined with only 3GB of memory for the i7, which could potentially lead to memory swapping and you have a comparison that doesn't provide any meaningful information.
